Location
We were staying nearby at a good friend. I sneaked out early, looking for a colorful sunrise over the Chesapeake Bay. It really was a situation where I was hoping for the best. This was our first stay there and we arrived after sunset the day before. I'm thrilled with the result.Time
Early morning.Lighting
There was very little if anything in the way of clouds. So the colors and contrast were high here. Balancing shadow detail in the foreground with highlights and saturation in the sky was challenging.Equipment
Canon EOS 6D, Canon 17-40 f/4 L, Formatt-Hitech GND filters, Arca Swiss P0 ballhead, Manfrotto 190 tripod.Inspiration
A significant portion of my work centers on long exposures. Being from the midwest, coastal sunrises are a novelty. So, get up early and get put your camera in an interesting place.Editing
Basic color and contrast. As well as light panoramic stitching.In my camera bag

Balancing foreground and sky in these scenarios is tricky. I struggled for a couple of years until I put GND filters in my kit. It's not magic potion. But, they make it so much easier to get it right in camera.
